[edit] Streets of Paradise

[edit] Lyrics
Tears fall down like whiskey
Tears fall down like whine
On an island of cocaine
In a sea of turpentine
We all need some assistance
But won't that day be fine
When we're walking down the streets of Paradise
Tar brush on the corner
I've never seen him before
He drank ten fingers of what that's for
Now his feet don't touch the floor
He can't see me or this dirty old town
He's got nothing to look for
He's a-walking down the streets of Paradise
[Chorus]
Walking down the streets of Paradise
Walking down the streets of Paradise
I'd trade my silver mansion
With a guard on every door
I'd trade my wealth and treasure
And a sash my father wore
I'd trade my little sister
And my brother who went before
To be walking down the streets of Paradise
[Chorus]
I asked you for a racehorse
Now don't hand me no mule
I asked you for a fast car
Don't you take me for a fool
Just hand me down my telescope
And a bullet I can chew
I'll be walking down the streets of Paradise
[Chorus]
[edit] Hard Luck Stories
"Hard Luck Stories" is a song by Richard and Linda Thompson from their 1975 album Pour Down like Silver. Linda performs the lead vocals while Richard performs the background vocals during the chorus.
[edit] Lyrics
They say running into you is like running into trouble
You bend my ear and I see double
You're everybody's idea of a waste of time
You still come around 'cause I used to listen
But I run a steamship; I don't run a mission
Don't be mistaken in thinking you're a friend of mine
[Chorus]
Those hard luck stories
It's all I ever get from you
Hard luck stories
You're gonna drive me outta my mind
Hard luck stories
It's all I ever get from you
Hard luck stories
You're gonna drive me outta my mind
Well, your boss won't even give you change of a penny
Everybody's got money, but you haven't any
If I cared about you, I'd say it was a crying shame
Your wife ran away, left you on Sunday
She cried when she left you; she was laughing on Monday
She should have known better and never gone and change the name
[Chorus]
Why don't you grow up; why don't you settle down?
Why don't you get a job; why don't you leave town?
Even a chicken has to do what it has to do
You don't like one thing; you don't like another
You don't like anything that looks like bother
Everyone don't like something
And we all don't like you
[Chorus]
